Isabelle Travel Genie

My son and I are traveling to Guatemala for a service project. The coordination was very difficult because the location of the project is not near a major city and the flights require multiple legs. I contacted Isabelle with really specific details (have to arrive within the project coordinator’s requirements) plus a very tight budget. She made it all work! Plus, she put it all together quickly and with attention to my preferences (e.g., avoiding 6 hour layovers). I am so grateful to have had such Isabelle’s expertise.

Isabelle was a tremendous help in finding and negotiating a hotel block for my wedding. After my now-​husband and I called around to all of the local hotels in the Bay Area and were told that they didn’t have the rates we wanted or availability for our weekend, we turned to Isabelle for expert assistance. She spent time calling our priority hotels, and successfully negotiated a great deal and rate with our top-​choice hotel. She helped us through the contract-​signing process and stayed involved with the ongoing changes we made to the contract as the big weekend approached. She was always very responsive to our emails and calls, followed through on the deadlines she committed to, and helped us through several challenges along the way. Thank you, Isabelle!

Isabelle is a GEM! We have a family of five and as some of you may know, it’s not easy finding reasonably priced accommodations to house anything beyond 4 people. I gave Isabelle my budget for lodging and places I knew I wanted to hit in Europe and she was off and running. Many options, plenty of great recommendations, advice (one of which I didn’t follow and regret it!!! so listen to her — she knows!!!) She got us a killer direct flight into Europe for an excellent price. Couldn’t find that myself! Really, as I didn’t have time, I depended heavily on her level of expertise and input to help me with all the details. ESPECIALLY the ones I hadn’t thought of. And the icing on the cake, she is a sweetheart — so polite, warm and friendly, very attentive, hopping on urgent situations at a moment’s notice and on her own time without hesitation. You are in the best possible hands with this Travel Genie. We aren’t going to travel big again without her! You shouldn’t either!

Isabelle really is the Travel GENIE! We have used her services on many occasions and she has always found us great rates at wonderful places. She also provides information about our destination that we had not even considered! There were a couple of times when local tour operators (one of them out of the country) suddenly made last minute changes to our itinerary. Isabelle proactively contacted them to make any transitions as smooth as possible for us — we didn’t have to do a thing! I have referred her to several friends for local and international travel. ALL of them just rave about her. Isabelle really thinks of everything and makes travel as painless as possible so all you have to do is ENJOY!

Isabelle helped my wife and me with a recent trip to London. She handled our transportation from Heathrow which saved us money and time. Isabelle also recommended sites for us to visit and set us up with hotels in our price range Because of Isabelle I did not have to spend hours reading travel guides I just asked The Travel Genie! I’m already planning my next trip with her.

Isabelle did a great job putting together our very complicated trip to Europe and Africa, including finding a great safari company in Kenya that exceeded our expectations. Her communication was excellent– she always responded to emails within a day. I highly recommend Isabelle.

Dealing with Isabelle was not a great experience. There were several mishaps that ended up being a real hassle because of the way she booked our tickets, not to metion, we didn’t even have seats on our final leg until the very end (we booked the trip months in advance so no idea why).

Sometimes you just need to let a professional find you the best plane tickets! This is what Isabelle does best. She found a great flight to Spain with a return home from Turkey. She even froze my ticket for a couple days so I had time to process the trip and make a final decision. My trip was fantastic, everything went smoothly!
I am grateful to have found Isabelle!!! No more stress. No more hours spending searching for the best ticket. I can just send her the dates and she does the rest.
Thank you Isabelle!
Sincerely,
EMMA

Isabelle is an absolutely astounding service professional! I posted on facebook for a referral for a travel agent to help me with an Ireland trip as well as an east coast trip. I got a lot of referrals from friends, and a couple of people recommended the same person – Isabelle! I emailed every single person that was referred to me – at least 10 different travel agents. Isabelle outshined all of them! There were a couple that came close, all the others I wasn’t that impressed with, and Isabelle took the cake! She returned all of my messages promptly and professionally, listened to my needs/​wants, got the absolute best prices, she thought of convenience things that I would never thought of to make my trip even more enjoyable, and she gave advice on when/​how/​where I was traveling. She was very sweet, friendly, informative and offered stellar customer service! I could keep going on and on about how wonderful she is, but I have to go catch my flight to Ireland now, thanks to Isabelle!

Well I couldn’t do it, nope, I could not find a decent flight with the right times and a price that was even reasonable! I did the normal Travelocity and individual airline sites and got nowhere! One email and 10 minutes later it was done by the Travel Genie, Isabelle! So don’t go through hell — call Isabelle!

I have used Isabelle’s travel service twice for big trips; once to Turkey (great experience) and most recently to India!
In all cases (even when I asked questions and then DIDN’T travel) she provides friendly, professional service and when I explained my intentions to her she helped me accomplish them.
This time it was flights and hotels in India and an introduction to a fine local travel agency (Unisafe Tours) which provided me with knowledgeable guides and professional drivers.
She has great follow through. At a moment of doubt in Mumbai about which of two airports to use (cab driver’s doubt … I was clueless) I called her and she called the airline and they sorted it out and I got to the right airport and flight on-​time. Can’t beat that.
I highly recommend Isabelle Travel GEnie.

Isabelle really came through for me while planning my trip to Florida last month.
It was a last minute decision to travel and I wasn’t having any luck finding a suitable hotel AT A REASONABLE PRICE. We wanted to stay on or near the beach but weren’t willing to pay $ 300 per night. Isabelle came up with some great suggestions for hotel options. The hotel we chose met our requirements perfectly. In the future, I’ll save myself some time and money by having Isabelle plan the itinerary. She has professional resources and discounts that are not available to the general public. Finally, a travel agent who gives you that personal attention and guidance that doesn’t exist on the internet.

Isabelle, is the travel agent I use frequently because she arranges my
travel plans in a professional and cost effective manner. She arranged all my
hotels and airline connections just recently, for a trip to Peru. I prefer to not
spend much time on the internet to search for that special deal. Isabelle, already
has that special deal! I will continue to use the services of Isabelle Travel
Genie in the future.

Isabelle is great, we had a problem finding a hotel during a recent holiday weekend for the family and our dog. Isabelle jumped right in and within hours had 2 – 3 recommendations for us to choose from. When we did make the decision she booked the stay, followed up just before our departure to check if we had any changes and then afterward to verify our experience was good. The hotel was perfect on both location, amenities, and welcoming to our dogs, (especially the cookies at the front desk).
Using a travel agent in this world of do it yourself is a treasure. I wasted so many hours looking for suitable accommodations which I could have used to build my business, exercise, or anything but get frustrated combing through travel web sites which look the same! It is a forgotten convenience which I will not forget again
Thank you Isabelle!
